Sadie
is the dog that started it all! She's absolutely the sweetest dog I've ever
met, and is an amazing ambassador for our breed. She promptly greets visitors
with a fast tongue and warm heart, eagerly shows off her newest trick, then
takes her place on the couch, head in lap. Sadie can often be found playing
with the family cat!

Sadie
was 5 years old, when she BEGAN her obedience career. She learned quickly, and
after just a few months of training, she earned High-in-Trial honors at the
2000 National Specialty in Gray Summit, MO. By year's end, Sadie was ranked #3
Obedience AmStaff in the country, with very limited showing! Who says you
can't teach an old dog new tricks?

Sadie entered retirement in the spring of 2001. She is now holding down
the job of couch potato. She has adapted well to her role of spoiled rotten
brat. Sadie holds a very special place in our hearts, and always will!!
